What A Week!!!

Oh my goodness... what a week! This past week has been SO busy for me. I think you already know that we had homecoming this week. I obviously went to the dance, but then our game and parade was on Friday. So all week we've been working on our floats and lineup and stuff for the parade. I ended up holding the banner for the French Club in the parade... I was going to be a ghost (because our theme was Ms. Pacman) but at the very last minute (and I'm being literal, here!!) one of the Freshmen wanted to be a ghost, and I was already wearing some red shorts, so I was 'voted' to be the banner holder, and give the freshman the ghost costume. So I became a walking flag (because they had me wearing a blue t-shirt, red shorts, and white knee-high socks) of France, and me and another guy held the banner. We had an awesome car, too. We got an official 1970-something pace car from the Indy 500... it was so awesome! We pretty much had to run the whole parade, though, because the truck in front of us kept speeding up. Oh, and I officially don't like any of the guys who run cross-country! They were right in front of us, and they were talking to us the whole time, and about every 5 minutes they'd laugh at us because we had to run to catch up to them. I found it very ironic that we were running, and the cross country RUNNERS were riding! Oh well. I guess my muscles will get over it, although I'd rather they get over it soon! They're a little sore.
So after the parade we all had to go back to the high school and get our stuff. Then me and my friend Brian walked over to the library. We were planning on staying there until the game started, but we had a bit of a set back... as we were walking up to the library, Brian saw a sign that said the library was closing at 5:30... Brian goes, "Brit, what time is it?" I started laughing hysterically, because by that time, we were both really tired, and everything was funny. We got to the library at 5:15!!! So we called our parents, and then we walked over to McDonald's, got a McFlurry, and then ate and talked for two hours 'til the game started.
The game didn't start until 7, so we had plenty of time... it was really fun, though. We both learned some of the other's secrets... and Brian came up with the idea that we're going to write a book about our 'adventures' called, "The Amazing Perils of Brian and Brit". OK, so that's a bit corny, but we were really tired, and at the time, it seemed hilarious! Brian kept joking about how we act like a 75-year-old couple, because we both kept talking about which muscles hurt worse, etc...
So we walked over to the game at 7, and met some other friends at that time. I really didn't spend much time actually watching the game... I was too busy talking to friends, and oh yeah... watching Wilson!!! He was selling glow sticks, so I got to talk to him a little bit. Oh, and I forgot to mention that at the Mini-Olympics at school, he came and sat right behind me!!!
Then today my Dad and I went to the Purdue game. That was really fun, too. My face got so burnt, though! I was outside for most of the day on Friday, and then half of the day today, so my face is really red.
I'm also getting new glasses next week. My mom and I both went on Thursday and got an eye-exam. They said that my eyes have caught up to each other since the last time they checked my eyes, so they now had the same prescription. I really like the glasses I picked. They've got half-frames, so they blend in more with my face. Mom's look really cute, too. She didn't get the ones that I wanted her to have because she said they were too flimsy, but I totally approve of the ones she ended up getting.
Well, I better go. If you've got time, you should all check out the blog my mom's made to help bring my aunt home from Haiti... it's been 'newly-renovated' and it looks really awesome!
